“1992 Toyota Pickup sr5 v6. Was approaching the freeway on ramp and hit a bump and heard a loud pop and immediately lost steering. Upon inspection, my left upper control arm frame mount was broken off. This mount also holds the motor mount. Taking a closer look, it looks like the metal had cracked at some point and rusted through and the bump was the last straw. Its a miracle I was not on the freeway yet, or I (and possibly others) could have been seriously injured!”
NHTSA complaint #10376501, filed 2011-01, 175,000 miles“Brought my 92 Toyota Pickup truck in to have a belt changed. The guys at the shop put the truck on the lift and the truck just folded. The frame is completely rotted you can stick your hand right through it. Currently the recall on frame rot does not cover my year.”
NHTSA complaint #10230903, filed 2008-06, 203,000 miles“My only complaint is that I purchased a 1992 Toyota Pickup truck new in 1992 and have never seen anything rust like the undercarriage of this truck. Toyota had a recall on some trucks, but not go back that far. I can tell you this truck rusted profusely 2 yrs after I purchased it. This truck was garage kept for many years but did not seem to make any difference. I first had part replaced on top of the gas tank...it rusted away....I had it replaced for a second time 3 yrs ago....I had to have the gas lines replaced. There are so many rusted parts I had to have replaced to keep this truck safe.. …”
NHTSA complaint #10286861, filed 2009-10, 3,000 miles“Took my 1992 Toyota short box Pickup in for a brake job. Both frame members half way between the front and rear tires were rusted so bad that one could put ones arm all the way thru. The truck has a good engine and tires, but now is just a dangerous piece of junk. Nothing can be done to fix it.”
NHTSA complaint #10410265, filed 2011-07, 114,000 miles“The frame has had excessive rusting around the rear suspension area for about 7-8 years. Repairs have had to be made to this area. Finally, toyata anounced a recall for this problem but it only goes back to 1995.”
